Styx Battens / Droppers

The cost-effective alternative to wooden farm fencing battens.

Styx fence battens are a game-changer for New Zealand farmers. Designed and manufactured in Christchurch, they offer a superior, cost-effective alternative to traditional wooden battens, insultimber, and wire lightning droppers. Dramatically reduce labour costs as unlike heavy, time-consuming wooden battens, Styx battens are installed in seconds by one person, boosting fencing efficiency.

Environmentally friendly and durable, Styx battens are made from 50% recycled plastic, reducing landfill waste. Unlike treated timber, they release no toxins into the environment. Their patented design eliminates the need for staples, preventing batten movement and reducing maintenance. Plus, each batten is a powerful insulator, ideal for running multiple electric fence wires. 

Suitable for all livestock, from bulls to lambs, Styx Battens are a versatile and reliable fencing solution. Shop now...
